It seems to be the members that arrive, post once, and leave that keep lowering the count. But hey ho. At least there's a good gathering of regular attendees here.

Snapper has now been swapped on my planned entry. Hopefully it shouldn't affect the AI at all. Very much looking forward to this. =)

I don't really like #1 for some reason, I don't know what it is about it. It might be the wheels going through the angled parts of the chassis, it just looks a little bit ungainly for my liking.
which scared the heck out of me. I was like NFX Y U DO THIS TO ME?!

I wasn't trying to sway votes, Fracture, I just didn't like your bot very much. It's not really the sort of thing I would build. Although it was quite wierd when I started out getting good in BOTM, people were thinking I was either Pwnator or Sage. :gawe:

Top one is suck, delete it from your hard drive immediately. :gawe:

Bottom one's fairly decent. What you might want to do is downgrade from a Blackvolt to a Nifty, you're eating up quite a lot of weapon/defense weight with powering the thing. Rotate the tribar extenders 90 degrees, so both weapons hit at the same time. If you lost the casters and added a plow instead, that would hopefully leave you enough weight to swap some of the razors for maces. The SnapperII is a godsend for bots like this, though, take a look at my Death By Purple series if you like, to see what you can come up with/get away with.

I just can't get three in a row, can I? =P

Well done, though, Fracture. You're getting quite good at these.

If you've got a one above, one below situation with the BA's there, I might consider switching to razors (I reckon you could get 8 on there), and then putting maces on the ends. That will give wider coverage than irons, and help prevent HS getting to the chassis.

And the wheels will be inside the cabin. Aside from that, it's not too bad, just move the cabin back, and it'll be all set.

Casters seem a bit pointless to me. You could get rid of them, and maybe swap the ice picks on the side for irons.

1491
Nfx please replace the snapper or at least isolate the component.
I tried isolating the component, and it didn't work. I could have another bash at it, though.

True. But he's been banned from the KOTH tournament. So that's a good move by Jonzu.

It's Child's Play, but with more weapons. Very much doubting the reach, though.

This is RA2 with the rule of 7:

This is RA2 without the rule of 7:
(Image removed from quote.)

Seven, being an odd number, just makes everyone annoyed.

I think Natef came up with the theory that it's actually eight components in series, but the chassis is the first "component". It does make sense when you think about it, as 8 is 2^3, thus a binary computer would probably understand it a little easier. Plus, since the game begins counting at zero, what with Bot0, Team0 and so forth, the chassis would then become the "zeroth" component in the chain, allowing for seven components to be attached to it in a chain.

1495
Nah. You're not the one who's going to be putting my bot into your game. =) It's quite annoying, because it seems to affect me with quite a lot of Stock tourneys I enter.

1496
Just a heads up, you'll need to make sure you've got Sage's Skin pack with all the components. I haven't got the Blue Snapper for some reason, and I need to use Sage's black one. Most of my bots crash the game if you don't have it.

1497
I'll be trying my hand at all of them. Provided I can get an entry submitted in time. Damn time zones. Luckily, I've gotten it all sorted well in advance. =D

1498
Nice. This should be pretty good fun. I'll definitely be entering this when it comes around. =)

That seems fair to me. He might do okay at the sumo, but it's basically cheating in a KOTH match.

Aging is mandatory. Maturing is optional. =D Though is preferred around here.
